More quotes by John C. Maxwell
Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That's why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.
John C. Maxwell
Making matters worse is people's natural inclination to be easy on themselves, judging themselves according to their good intentions-while holding others to a higher standard and judging them by their worst actions.
John C. Maxwell
The true test of relationships is not only how loyal someone is when we fail, but how thrilled they are when we succeed.
John C. Maxwell
People can open doors for you, but you ... must walk through.
John C. Maxwell
If your face is going to “talk” for you anyway, you might as well have it communicate something positive.
John C. Maxwell
If you are in a leadership position, do not rely on your title to convince people to follow you. Build relationships. Win people over. Do that and you will never be a lonely leader.
John C. Maxwell
For years I kept a sign on my desk that helped me maintain the right perspective concerning yesterday. It simply said, 'yesterday ended last night.' It reminded me that no matter how badly I might have failed in the past, it's done, and today is a new day.
John C. Maxwell
If churches would take ownership of a vision, the next pastor who is thinking about coming to that church can see what their vision is and then determine if their vision fits with his or her ministry. If it doesn't, then it would be wrong for that pastor to come to that church.
John C. Maxwell
Remember, in the end, it isn't what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not.
John C. Maxwell
If everyone doesn't pay the price to win, then everyone will pay the price of losing.
John C. Maxwell
I do a lot of conferences, a lot of leadership training. For about six or seven years I've been making this statement - every time I make it, I can see people just kind of - it's just one of those light bulb moments.
John C. Maxwell
Our challenge is to think right in a wrong world. Our challenge is to think positive in a negative world.
John C. Maxwell
..Give them your faith, and they become confident, energized, and self-reliant.
John C. Maxwell
All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.
John C. Maxwell
The harder you try to forget something, the more you think about it subconsciously.
John C. Maxwell
Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
John C. Maxwell
If your vision doesn't cost you something, it's a daydream.
John C. Maxwell
Pay now, play later play now, pay later.
John C. Maxwell
Coming together is a beginning, and staying together is progress, but only when teams sweat together do they find success.
John C. Maxwell
Leaders who fail to prune their pride will meet demise. That's not a guess, it's a guarantee. With pride, it's not a matter of 'if' we will fall, but 'when.' There are no exceptions.
John C. Maxwell
